This is a candid portrait of an Aboriginal community struggling to come to terms with a searing legacy of sexual abuse, incest and family violence. The film follows the Ditidaht First Nation on BC’s Nitinaht Lake Reserve over a seven-year period, after a respected elder is found guilty of sexually assaulting his granddaughter. Award-winning filmmaker Maurice Bulbulian was granted permission by members of the community to record their stories, and become a part of their healing process. These powerful and courageous interviews came to play a key role in enabling people in the community to share their experiences and overcome the cycle of abuse. Through their stories, they also reveal the devastating effects of the residential school system. For decades, Aboriginal youth were taken from their families and forced to attend these schools, where speaking their own languages and following their customs were forbidden, and where physical, emotional and sexual abuse were routine. With hope and courage, the people in this film are overcoming their tragic past and healing themselves. This film contains strong language, including graphic sexual detail. Please preview before showing to an audience.

In his 1948 REFUS GLOBAL manifesto, Paul-Émile Borduas proclaimed an end to the multifaceted fear embodied by the Duplessis government. Fifty years later, the history books tell of this manifesto that laid the foundation for today's Quebec. Filmmaker Manon Barbeau, daughter of one of the signatories, takes an unprecedented look at this period. She attends a meeting with the other sons and daughters of Barbeau, Borduas, Mousseau and Riopelle. They are “children of the Refus global,” whose lives were all affected by their parents’ revolutionary act. None of them escaped unscathed neither from a childhood of worries and desertions, nor from a wealth that only the arts can provide, as can be seen in some the film’s emotional moments.
